IF your TV is FHD then the player will downscale 4K movie content to FHD. It is the same when you watch 1080p movie on HD TV. The important is the player capable to decode the 4K movie file.

which mean it wont give a 4k source unless your TV supports it. :/.

4K source? I presumed you mean 4K output. If you force 4K output to your FHD TV then your TV will complaint signal not compatible.

fyi:



from the various threads in broadband section, all kinds of experience and complaints at this time.

probably varies from location to location.

for me, can say my Unifi is acceptable - the impt things are working well enough.

4K UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920x1080 (2.07 megapixels)

my experience with Q16 playback 4k material:

there are many video output settings in Q16, the highest two are 2160p 24hz (or fps) and 2160p 30hz.

if your TV is full hd and not 4k, Q16 will detect it, will not u allow to set higher than 1080p 60hz.

if yr TV is 4K, it will allow u to set any of the available settings.

note the HDMI cable Q16->TV must also be 4K compliant.

the source, i.e file for playback - most 4k videos at this time are uhd 4k 24fps or 30fps, so no problem for Q16.

there are some uhd 4k 60fps - these will not play well on Q16.

such videos are rare and very few external devices can handle 4k 60 fps at this time.

but the latest higher end 4k tv's can play with direct usb.



i have played a few 4k movies with Q16 on my 4K tv.

verdict =

Nicety,

Haven't seen any post in this thread much lately. Appreciate that you post any update here on your skydrive like updates on apps apk and so on or should we follow another link ?

Thak you.

New apps I update directly in the skydrive, could not openly discuss here, it could be blocked easily. Just check my skydrive from time to time by sorting the modify date of the file. Pleaese use the apps with low profile.

Q16 quad core has been in the market for more than 18 months, the device already stabilize and not many bugs found with this device. Therefore not much updates for this model.

dear Customers,

Please don't jump into Kodi 16.0 at the moment, please wait for Kodi 16.1 or Kodi 16.2 stable version.

Hi, you seems to have a few model of this. I'm confuse as in which model is suitable for me.
Basically i'm interested on
i) HK, Taiwan, Korea and China for TVB series.
ii) English and chinese/cantonese movies.
iii) Documentaries show (Low Priority)
iv) Sports (I read some where you mentioned sports channel is hard due to monopoly. So Low Priority)
v) Maybe ability to play media from thumbdrive/hardisk/nfs

Which model do you recommend for me?

Actually we have streamline to two model only :

H8 1+8 Budgetary model - RM340
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3727931&hl=

H8 2+ 16 High end model - RM460
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3677149&hl=


Both model could meet your requirement mentioned above.

Hi @Avfan, which app you used to play the 4K videos?
i have tried few 4k samples (mkv and mp4 files) but the player can't seem to play.

just use the native player, i.e. with file manager or media center.

kodi can handle too but apps like es file explorer, mx and vlc cannot.

of course, you must also have:

.. 4k TV
.. all hdmi cables must be 4K compliant.

the original hdmi cable that came with the Q16 is 4K compliant.

just a reminder on imgotv or mango tv.

there should be an auto update to version 4.7.17.

update is auto for q16, q5ii, not sure for h8.

this version is good.

you get good stuff, incl "vip - free", in 720p hd.

Dear Customers,

Please kindly update if MoviesHD prompt for update, the old version 2.0.3 no longer working.

If your MoviesHD does not prompt for update, please download the latest version from the skydrive.

Free stuff need some effort to search and explore, just to share the below video ->TOP KODI ADDONS FOR APRIL 2016

those who have the working versions of hdptv and hdpfans apps should check them out.

after auto update, they are now bigger and better!

hdptv now has more categories, more HD videos.

hdpfans now has some new good stuff in the new test sections.

for kodi users... if u r adventurous, try superbox build and projectcypher plugin on 16.0 jarvis.

you will get quite a no. of new and reliable int'l tv channels, incl singapore/indon/thai tv and some live sports in HD!
